In the beautiful morning, Qingyan was dressed neatly, facing the warm morning sun, laying a thick quilt on the ground, and doing yoga seriously and hard. This is one of the things she has to do every day for the last month, and the reasonable diet she has set for herself has made her lose a lot of weight in just one month.

At this time, on her fleshy round face, willow eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, jade nose, cherry mouth, and a faint pear vortex appeared on her cheeks when she smiled.

Yi Han and others were amazed by her appearance, but she herself was not satisfied, the thick double shell, fleshy hands and feet still made her very distressed, so she worked hard to get up early every day to practice yoga.

"Sixth Miss, Jasmine handed this to the slave this morning, saying that Chen Dong asked his father to bring it to Miss."

Yi Han walked in, and shook her head helplessly at this time, in her opinion, the current young lady is really beautiful, thinking about the past few days when the young lady walks around the garden, reads in the ethnology, and asks the old lady to say goodbye, all of them make everyone's jaws drop, who would have thought that the little fat man before could be so lovely after losing weight?

Qingyan wiped the sweat on her forehead, took the paper in Yi Han's hand, and after reading it carefully, she quietly put it in the candle flame and lit it, the latter was not surprised by this, this kind of thing, she has been used to it for more than a month.

"Yihan, grandmother's birthday the day after tomorrow, can the eldest uncle's family send someone back?"

"I have received the news that the eldest lady and the eldest prince will be able to arrive at the house at the time of today's unitary; The second lady and the second son, the cousin will arrive tomorrow, but the eldest aunt and grandmother, the cousin and the young master and the cousin will arrive before the time today, and now the third lady is already preparing. ”

Yi Han knew what she seemed to be looking forward to, so he asked Jasmine to inquire about the matter for the past two days, and finally reported back the letter this morning.

Qingyan was silent, at this time in that life, the eldest aunt Qing Changmei did not come back, even the eldest cousin Qiu Zijie did not come, and now I don't know if this change is good or bad. Then thinking of the news from Chen Dong, his eyes flickered and became more and more gloomy as ink, which made Yihan more and more cautious.

"Yihan, you go down first! Let Jasmine tell Jasmine that any disturbance in the Summer Palace must be reported, no matter how big or small. ”

"Yes! What do you want to eat for breakfast? Is it still vegetable porridge? ”

"There is no need for the time being, you can ask Jasmine to tell Liu Da again, let him tell Chen Dong to pay more attention to the news from the capital, and give him a little more five taels of silver."

"It's-"

"What's wrong?"

"Miss, you haven't had any expenses in the past few years, all this money has been saved little by little, and the recent expenses have been too great, it has been less than twenty taels, and now you will give five taels, there is really nothing left!"

"No defense, give it to him, Miss, I naturally have other ways to make money."

"Yes!"

"Anything else?" She saw her hesitating and gritted her teeth and stood in place, smiling gently.

"Miss, even if you want to lose weight again, this meal is still good on time, and you really look good now!"

"Don't worry! Miss knows this matter, go ahead! ”

Yi Han had no choice but to leave first, leaving Qingyan alone to sit by the window, looking at the empty garden, constantly planning in her mind, some things even if she lived again, but she didn't know the details, what she remembered was just a sensational event, in the past month, the information from Chen Dong was very messy, but she felt as if there was an invisible thread that threaded these things together.

For example, he once heard a merchant from Bingzhou in the drunken immortal building: Suddenly someone began to collect rice and grain there, but he did not see it shipped to other places, and he did not know where the rice and grain had gone. The merchant of the daimyo also said that they had suddenly opened a happy house there, in which there were many young women, but the proprietor was a young man, with a magnificent and extraordinary spirit, and the business here was not a leather and meat business like a green house, but a luxurious place for people to enjoy singing and dancing. It is conceivable that those who enter and exit here must be either rich or expensive.

Today, Chen Dong came to Qingzhou Mansion Qingfu Street opened a Feng Ya Ge, among which there are many talented women, the shopkeeper is a stunning beauty, just a beauty, but she is all fine in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, here just opened for business, it ushered in many romantic students to go to a look, and soon after it was rumored that this Feng Ya Ge provides a venue for students free of charge from the seventh to the tenth day of the first month of each month, so as to facilitate their literary exchanges.

Each of these cases made her feel as if she had a pair of hands secretly manipulating her, but this was just her instinct and she couldn't say anything to anyone.

"Second sister—"

"Second sister—"

Before Qinglian and Qingnuan entered the house, they saw her in a daze at the window, and both of them were worried, and quietly called in unison, and then walked in quickly.

"Did you two say yes? Why did you come here today? Her eyes lit up and she hurriedly greeted her.

"Are you alright?" Qinglian stepped forward, grabbed her hand, frowned, looked at her left and right, since the last time Wu Mama happened, her heart has not been stable, only to find Qingyan stunned, this heart was shocked again.

"I'm fine, I just thought about things and came up with a god!"

"What can make the smart second sister so embarrassed?" Qing Nuan tilted her head and blinked her big innocent eyes.

"Of course, it's the old lady's birthday gift! Have you figured out what to give? ”

"It turned out to be this matter, the eldest sister said to send her to embroider her forehead, and I embroidered a purse, although it was not good, but the heart arrived. What about the second sister? Have you figured out what to give? ”

"I-"

"Sixth Miss, the old lady sent Jasmine to Changyue Garden to spread the word, saying that the eldest aunt and grandmother and the cousin young master are about to arrive, let the fourth lady take you, the fifth miss, and the seventh miss over quickly, and now Jasmine has arrived."

"That's it, let's not let my mother wait, let's go over quickly!"

Qingyan smiled heartily, pulled Qinglian and Qingnuan straight to the main courtyard, talking and laughing along the way, but the previous question was missing, and she sneered in her heart: Birthday ceremony? Naturally, it was prepared for a long time.

Summer Palace

Before the group entered the flower hall, they heard a burst of laughter inside, Qinglong's laughter was the loudest, and I don't know how the three ladies trained their daughters, such a loud voice is really not like what everyone women do.

"Your eldest aunt is very bold, although my mother has not met her a few times, but she is also familiar at first sight, I think I will like you very much, so, go in for a while, pay attention, no matter what, you can't embarrass your father, he is a famous talent in our Qingzhou, you know?"

"Yes!"

The three sisters nodded immediately, Qingyan and Qinglian glanced at each other, and smiled secretly, thinking that their mother had finally become stronger, if Qinglong's behavior was a little inappropriate in the past, at most, she would have slandered a few words in her heart, and she would never use this to preach.

"The daughter-in-law has seen the old lady!"

"Lian'er has seen her grandmother, please say hello to her grandmother!"

"Yan'er greets grandmother!"

"Nuan'er has seen her grandmother!"

The three sisters bowed down with their mothers one after another, dignified and polite, respectful and with an extraordinary bearing, in contrast, Qinglong's laughing demeanor was as annoying as a country shrew.

"Get up!" The old lady said in a deep voice, becoming more and more dissatisfied, glared at the third daughter-in-law who was also frowning, and lowered her eyes slightly.

Jiang Yingyue got up in response, walked to the side with her three daughters and sat down with a smile, and then looked in the direction of the old lady:

I saw that today's side of her was finally no longer the third lady, but a purple peony skirt, wearing an apricot-colored lotus leaf gown, her hair combed in a lily bun, her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes were like lychees, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her lips were like green plums with Dandan.

"Yingyue has seen the eldest sister!"

"Hurry up, since you got married, you and I have met you when you got married, but I didn't expect that a few years later, you are still as young and beautiful as when you first married in, if you say it, who can believe that you are already the mother of three children? It's really jealous! ”

Qing Changmei hurriedly helped him up, looked left and right, and his voice was crisp and loud, which was very pleasant.

"Eldest sister is making fun of me again, these are my three daughters, Lian'er, Yan'er, and Nuan'er!"

"I've seen my aunt!" The three sisters stepped forward at the same time and saluted respectfully.

"Oops! It's really a lovely little girl, come and show your aunt! Well? Is this Yan'er? Didn't you say she's a fat girl? Why doesn't it look like it! ”

She was attracted by her watery peach blossom eyes, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her fleshy baby face.

"My aunt is really good at complimenting people, Yan'er is also a fat girl now, but she is a little thinner than some time ago."

Qingyan smiled friendly, thinking about everything about this aunt, she can be said to be a chivalrous woman, since she was a child, she loves arms and does not love red makeup, but it is a pity that she was born in Qingfu, although she has a chivalrous heart, but she has no chivalrous power, she has done a lot of good things in the name of Qingfu when she was young, but her personality is quite strong, and no family in the society at this time is willing to marry such a daughter-in-law, so when she was eighteen years old, she was not married.

Then the grandfather inadvertently met with the current uncle Qiu Li, and found that although he was not from a high background, he had a good martial arts, and he was also quite affectionate, so he married his aunt to him as his wife, and after the two of them got married, he repaired a book, and sent the two to the border to join his colleagues, since then he has risen to prominence in the officialdom.

It's just that in her memory, this uncle is not as upright as he seems, at least in that life, when he returned to Beijing to take up his post, he joined the camp of the fourth prince Wang Taijiu, and accepted Su Xiaomei, the singer of his mansion, as a concubine. And the saddest thing is that the children raised by her aunt like pearls and jade are not with her, and her departure does not make them feel sad in the slightest.
